									<h2 id="creating-a-chart">Creating a Chart</h2>
									<p>It&apos;s easy to get started with Chart.js. All that&apos;s required is the
										script included in your page along with a single <code>&lt;canvas&gt;</code>
										node to render the chart.</p>
									<p>In this example, we create a bar chart for a single dataset and render that in
										our page. You can see all the ways to use Chart.js in the <a
